Indulge in serenity at our 1 bedroom, 1 bath detached garage loft. Just 5 minutes from Dismal Swamp State Park's extensive trails and 20 minutes from the historic, waterfront downtown of Elizabeth City. For beach lovers, VA Beach Oceanfront is only 45 minutes away, with OBX just an hour's drive. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, a traveler seeking a peaceful retreat, or your in-laws are visiting and your home is just not "big enough" for them to stay, our loft is your perfect haven. The Dismal Loft is a quaint space close to many area attractions. We are located on over 2 acres, much of which is wooded. We do live on the property in the main house and are happy to provide recommendations for things to do in the area. Elizabeth City offers many yummy restaurants, breweries, an art gallery, wine bar, and locally owned shops. With all of the great state parks and national wildlife refuges around, there are plenty of options for hiking, biking, and kayaking. This is also a great spot for those traveling further into the OBX that need a pit stop for a night or two. There is a staircase to get up to the loft so it's not ideal if you have any accessibility concerns. The staircase is lit. We do have Wi-Fi up to the loft, but we are out in the country so signal is not very strong. However, you do get 5G cell service from the loft and we have provided a TV with a collection of movies. Air mattress for additional guests or kiddos available upon request. **Travel Nurses or Military for longer stays welcome. Please message me for additional details if interested.**
